On Wednesday evenings, December 5, 12, and 19, Grace is hosting programs that will include a meal served at 6:00 pm, music, and a prayer service at 7:00 pm.  Please join us for these events in anticipation of Christmas.

Join us downtown Hastings on Saturday evening, December 8th, for FREE rides on the Holley Trolley from 6 – 8 pm!  Grace is providing hot chocolate, fun, and fellowship.  Tune up your vocal chords for caroling as well.  Meet at the courthouse lawn.

The 2nd Annual Dinner / Silent Auction will be held on Sunday, November 11th at Hope United Methodist Church located at the junction of M-79 / M-37  just south of Hastings. To honor our veterans, they will be invited to eat free!  Doors will open at 4:00 pm and Family Promise of Barry County hopes to see you there to support this valuable program.

We are seeking donations of goods or services for the auction itself.  If you have questions or want to donate, please contact Vickey Argo at 616-430-0993.

This service will be held at Grace Lutheran Church on Sunday, November 18th at 6:00 pm.  Bring your family and friends to join a community wide time of worship. All are welcome!

Come on Everyone . . . Let’s Have Some Fun!   All of our members and their families are invited to Game Night on Saturday, November 10th from 7pm to 9pm.  Please look for the sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the Gathering Space. Each household is asked to bring a game to play, and a snack to share (if you wish). Beverages will be provided.  Also note whether you will need a ride, or would like to provide a ride.  Children cannot be dropped off: a parent/guardian must be present. There will be 2-3 adult areas for quiet games, and a designated area for kids/family games (where it may be a little noisier).  We are looking into the possibility of providing Child Care for the wee ones so parents can enjoy a little “adult” time; be sure to let Deborah Wilke know if you would utilize this service.  This evening will be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better!

High School and Middle School Youth Groups begin meeting on Sunday, October 21st at 6:00 p.m.   Two additional meetings have been planned for November 4th and November 18th.  Middle School includes grades 5-7.   Please come and join us!
